Description

A U(1) gauge theory of a particle with arbitrary spin in three spacetime dimensions is introduced. All the spin dependent effects are a consequence of a Chern-Simons field which is coupled to a conserved current with a piece involving the U(1) gauge field. In the case of a spin-1/2 particle one reproduces all the results of the spinning particle in the presence of an electromagnetic field. (orig.)
